Hi all,
I am trying to install gentoo to an embedded system and I'd like to mount
/var to RAM as tmpfs. How can I do it? I tried to add mount command into
the file /etc/conf.d/rc-extra, but it didnot work.
Mount points are specified in /etc/fstab. I mount my /var/tmp/portage
there with:
none /var/tmp/portage tmpfs defaults 0 0
You can look-up the tmpfs mount options to specify the amount of RAM.
Default is half the RAM in the system.
With that being said, your system will break horribly if you mount /var
as a tmpfs. /var is supposed to survive reboots.
